As disclosed in the accompanying draw- In view of the foregoing it will be at once ings, B denotes the bowl of a. smoking pipe understood that the enlarged portion of the provided with a stem 1. The outer portion a boreZ of the stem 1, when the pipe s @0111- of the bore 2 of the stem is enlarged and in pletely assembled, serves as a chamber to col 55 the extremity of the enlarged portion a is leet saliva which may pass down through the adapted to be received an extremity of the bore of the mouth-piece 3 so that the forming of a wet heel within the bowl is prevented, as the lower portion of the bowl is maintained dry, thus enabling the smoker to get as fresh a smoke at the last as when he first lit the charge within the bowl. The partition or plug 8 within the sleeve or supplemental stem 5 is preferably of wood and serves to stop the heat from within the bowl passing directly through the mouth-piece 3 so that a cool smoke is assured.

In addition to providing mean for fa cilitating the cleansing of the sleeve or supplemental stem 5, the opening 7 provides means whereby saliva which may pass down through the bore of the mouth-piece 3 may be drained into the chamber afforded by the enlarged portion a of the bore 2 of the stem 1 and for which reason it is to be understood that in assembling my improved pipe, the large opening 7 is arranged at the bottom or below.

In the embodiment of the invention as illustrated in Figure 1, the sleeve or supplemental stem 5 is applied in the same manner as has been hereinbefore set forth with respect to the sleeve or supplemental stem lowever, the upper wall of the supplemental stem or sleeve 5 is provided with only two longitudinally spaced openings 6 with the forward or outer opening 6 having substantially diametrically opposed thereto a drain opening 7 for saliva. The sleeve or stem 5 has its bore a point between the openings 6 intersected by the partition or plug 8.

Each of the sleeves or supplemental stems 5 and 5 is provided in one end portion with the notches 9. These notches 9 serve as an indicating medium so that the user may assemble the complete pipe with convenience and facility. The notches 9 indicate to the user the end portion of the supplemental sleeve or stem 5 or 5 which is to be arranged within the mouth-piece.

From the foregoing description it s thought to be obvious that a smoking pipe constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.

I claim:

A smoking pipe including a bowl and a stem, the outer portion of the bore of the stem being enlarged, a removable mouthpiece insertible within the outer end of the stem, a sleeve extending through the enlarged portion of the bore of the stem and having its opposite end portions engageable within the inner portion of the bore of the stem and the inserted end portion of the bore of the mouth-piece, the periphery'of said sleeve being smooth and unobstructed and a partition intersecting the bore of the sleeve, the wall of said sleeve being provided with openings at opposite sides of the partitioa, said openings communicating with the enlarged portion of the bore of the stem, said partition being insertible within the sleeve through either end thereof.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.

GEORGE CONLEY.
